NEW ULM — One week after setting a New Ulm High School girls single-game scoring record of 41 points, Brooklyn Lewis set the bar higher.

The senior, donning the No. 22, scored 43 points and added nine steals and 10 rebounds to her game resume as the Eagles downed Worthington 101-25 Friday night in a Big South Conference game.

Maggie Joyce added 23 points six rebounds, four assists and three steals and Riley Wilson had 11 points and nine rebounds.

Madison Sieve led Worthington with 6 points.

Lewis’ 43 points now moves her to 1,543 career points, passing New Ulm High School’s James Osborne 1,518 career points and 14th overall and 42 points behind Minnesota Valley Lutheran’s Dave Begalka’s total of 1,588 set in 1987.

“We wanted our press to really get going and it did not spark it at first,” Brooklyn Lewis said. “So we went back to a half-court and we started to get a lot of steals — we wanted to pride ourselves on defense — and once we got going, we got going.”

New Ulm held a slim 14-5 lead easily before head coach Mitch Lewis called a timeout.

“We were not doing what we talked about doing so we called a timeout, talked about it — made some changes and they responded to it.”

That led to a fast 24-7 lead that swelled to 54-9 on a Maggie Joyce 3 and a basket by Lewis off of the 13th first-half turnover by the Trojans.

Ten of Lewis’ 27 first-half points came off of baskets off of turnovers.

“I pride myself on defense,” Lewis said. “And I really pride myself on encouraging my teammates and getting them the ball.”

Baskets by Joyce. Lewis and Leah Brustad saw New Ulm carrying a 66-11 lead at halftime.

Keira Sullivan’s basket had the Eagles up 87-18 before a Lewis drive to the basket made it a 95-21 lead.

It was that basket that gave her 43 points to set another single-game record.

“I think that it is pretty cool — I could not do it without my teammates who pass me the ball. We are a team,” she said about the record.

Lexie Goff’s basket broke the 100-point mark late in the game,

Mitch Lewis said games like these are good for the girls’ confidence.

“But going into our Christmas Breakdown Tournament in St. Cloud we will be playing some quality teams with Bloomington Kennedy, and Alexandria — a strong 3A and 4A school. So this gives us some confidence,” he said.

New Ulm improved to 4-1 in the conference and 5-1 overall.
